Thanks, and yay another sidewalk owner, i am at the point now where i am waiting for some panels to arrive then i can tidy up the metal and start getting some panels on.

Since then, I've had new wheels fitted, new suspension, stage 1 kit, and lots of cosmetic touches (new carpets, headlamps, bumpers and shiny chrome bits here and there. Really need to get saving for a respray...

Sounds like a nice little mini if i am honest :) and i would have loved to have had mine as rolling project like that. I will have to look out for it at shows etc??

[minimissions]

Sorry for the late reply right panels should be ordered by the end of the week here is another update... on another area of rust which i didnt think was that bad until i took the a-panel off...

Some more updates to follow once some parts have arrived...

[minimissions]

I have however got on with my boot floor it just had minor surface rust, I got the wire wheels on the grinder and sorted that out and treated and primed the area also.

[minimissions]

Also picked these up a little while back ready for the rebuild, some nice 10x6 KN Mercury wheels :) these will be painted in their original colours again, and wrapped in some yoko rubber...
